added trendlines 3.26.22

What say you Sir?

I can provide the exact code I used upon request...and some time of me searching for it again...

Go to EABuilder.com and merge the 2 indis into 1 custom indi

Exactly as the title says. This is an EA to display when other symbols are creating a high and low of the day, as a text on the primary running symbol.

Theres a lot of questions that go around about how to use multi symbols properly. Take careful note as to exactly how I needed to do things to make them appear on the Primary symbol.

@panatech said in NNFX Algo help.:

Hello everyone, I am new here. I am interested on building an NNFX EA. Basically would like to obtain some sort of skeleton, in order to build and modify. Basically, it would be based on several different indicators (ATR, BL, Volume, C1, C2 and exit indicator). If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Basically every attempt that most people do here are an NNFX attempt at an EA.

You are headed down a long, wrong path my friend I can tell you now. If you dont have a manual strategy, then you are not in the right place mentally yet. If you are trying to build EA's because you dont have the nerves to trade manually, you arent in the right place. You will fail at this as much as you do manual with that mentality.

Thats not to say you cant use random things to develop systems of trading automatically for you. Surely people here have done it by accident...but the reason most people fail at this stuff is because they are not looking at things from the right perspective.

What's the goal and objective for why you are here? What precisely to a fine detail and fundamental understanding is EA development VS EA design? What is the goal of a backtest, what are you trying to prove and achieve with it?

If none of this applies to you, carry on...but hopefully this helps you and anyone that reads this in the future.

To maybe help you understand what I mean....you said, I'm interested in building an nnfx ea. One doesn't exist, just as VP is a fraud. He never was a prop trader. His parents own a clothing brand and he works in their stores. He lost money when he came out with his series initially, thats why he's transitioned away from it. ...sry for the rant, but, heres what I think about when designing an EA.

Perhaps with this scenario based on X entry, and Z time of day, I want to know how many opportunities, or whats the sample rate of trades over 5 years that will give me 100 pips with a SL less than 20 pips.

i hope he comes here to upvote your reply @seb-0 and says nothing else for months.

This is my Tipsy Wisdom on how to properly account for the 2 changes in time through the year that we experience when trading.

The logic to the method is to:

1. get the month
2. check month number
3. sort by logic, if we are above or equal to 11, and below 3, then we are in the November hour. If we are above or equal to 3 and below 11, use the march hour.
4. itll pass conditions according to which is true, now to times for the proper accounting that you want to search for, for that time period, before finally modifying variables. For me, I have a start and ending trade window I used that changes by an hour on the start side, but the end trade time remains the same.
   

using this has its drawbacks in terms of visually, drawing lines does not accept using variables in the manner im using them because its a double, rather than a string as time should be. However, I can backtest and adjust time. so, 1 version for backtest, and it can be built different accounting for live running forward thought, with a slight change in config.

enjoy. hopefully of use to someone.

@panatech said in NNFX Algo help.:

Hey thanks for you reply and also for taking an interest to my question. You provided several points which I am somehow puzzle as to how to reply, here is my best effort.

1). You said that if I am here with the sole purpose of creating a NNFX algo in order to avoid manual backtesting, I am headed to long, wrong path. Well, I am currently backtesting manually, however I am also interested on automating the algo to gain deeper understanding of utilizing FxDreema, and also using various methods of optimization, as well as machine learning in the hopefully not too long future. Also I listened to VP's podcast about automation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgJ0yiaE-VM&t=1218s, and tend to agree with what he explained about technology and where we are headed as a society. I believe that in the not too far future, the presence and functioning of AI would much more pervasive that we have anticipated.

2). As far as VP been a fraud, I cannot validate or invalidate your claims (if you don't mind providing the source). I mean, even if he provided us with receipts of his accounts and the magical 10%+ annual return, we still would not be able to verify those, since these days everything could counterfeited. I also tend to separate the bone from the flesh when eating, otherwise I could end up choking.

3). VP speaks to techniques that resonate with the way I think, my background and education has been in computer science (was an avid player of the first computer game called "pong", and have been interested in computers ever since). Have also tried using Support and Resistance, Supply and Demand and naked chart reading and they all seem subjective, every so called guru implement it differently.

4). Ultimately, my exposure to different ways of trading, has helped me identify which one seems more natural to me and that is why I am here.

Not sure who you are or what your background is, however the forums should be a mutual help community, so let do it (help each other). Any further guidance would be much appreciated.

The markets are AI driven. I trade manually only for now while I continue to develop a greater understanding of how to manipulate dreema and backtesting for the purposes that I continue to need them.

I will do my best to help you manually, here is what I offer:

One of those 2 images in a 1 minute chart. index asset. The other chart is a weekly commodity asset. You would never be able to pick which one is which, unless you trade those with real money and you know what a naked chart looks like. These digital assets move in such a way that they intentionally put all of these indicators of price into alert, before going into another direction. They do it on all time frames, across all assets, every day, it doesn't stop. Just because an indicator gives you a signal is not a reason to trade something, just as a person who uses sentiment, its not a good idea to trade just because they sat down at the computer with a feeling. Price moves in all assets from liquidity, to liquidity. There is no other means. They do not move because of any mark on a chart, any trend line, or indicator. They will not stop buying when it is overbought....indicators indicate what the market has done and nothing more. They do not provide the reason for the market moving.

Indicators stacked in the correct configuration is not the key to most winning trading systems...money management is where the key is at...hell, with low accuracy trading system you can still make great money if you manage your losses well...as my mentor says, all trades entered are a loss at the beginning, so thats the only difference with any system, who can overcome losses better.

I would suggest developing a system to help you practice trading manually if your primary purpose is to gain a better understanding of what you can use Dreema to do, and improving your manual trading as a secondary output. I would avoid trying to stack 4 to 7 different indicators in a row with a variable in place of the MAs, and the stochastics. lol...I say that tongue in cheek...but indicators do have a purpose. A single indicator configured properly once a day, can give you a solid 1 time trade signal for the day for instance...

You wont hear NNFX talk about a objective. You won't hear my mentor or anyone else...but I think the biggest thing I've realized is you can ask yourself 1 question and design an EA start at the end that nobody else would be able to build one like if you can ask 1 question.
How much money do you want to make? However you answer that is a great base for how to DESIGN an EA for you.

You can alternatively use Dreema to get statistics, for instance, if I wanted to see...every Wednesday that the US100 makes a new low of the day and low of the week, if I long, how many chances in a year will I get 100 pips off that trade? What about Tuesday low of the week @ 50 pips?

@fxdreema said in Changes:

The Tutorials section was a mess, I moved 2/3 of the posts here in the Questions section I don't want to know what is the situation in the Bugs section

What about a community suggestion driven forum? Id like to go through while I browse and vote something to go into a proper column (spam, general, bug, etc.) If a single posts gets so many upvotes for a change by various individuals, its moved in the system in some way? or perhaps thats just the instructions without you having to browse and read it all yourself?

@cedietradermax said in MT5 Market Closed error:

@dore
You could also Add block on Gray dot to confirm if your EA Buy/Sell is successful or not.
(See Block 6052)
By Doing this you can circumnavigate the Market Closed error when Broker Server is not yet fully online.

whats inside the block?

@Julianrob said in Profitable test results on Falcon and Condor, and forward testing looking good:

Yes this is great jstap.

I am finding success with timing the trade exits, more so than relying just on stop losses. Particularly when it comes to trading multiple currency pairs in the account. I can monitor the equity swings closely and I'm recording when the equity highs occur to help refine the strategy

timed exits are phenomenal.

@l-andorrà said in Chart objects not being deleted on MT5 deinit:

@general-melchett Move the 'partial' word to the 'Name contains' box instead.

I always use it in both to be safe.

@jstap said in How to get line/MA slope:

Have seen the question of how to find the slope angle, in here is how to do for a line on current timeframe, the same principle will work on all timeframes and for moving averages.

brother, you ought to just start drawing up tutorials for all the same questions you answer!

im working on a version of it, but his rules for reentry are unclear.

@kallamamran said in Finally , Integration of News Filter [ MT4 Only ]:

@ambrogio Hello,
I have managed to open the MQ4 in MetaEditor and compiled it with the manually created Boolean trade-variable, but I do get a warning compiling the script.

I don't know if I need to do something about this or what to do. Can you please advice?!

Also what's meant by "You will have to copy that 2 block from Oninit() and other 2 also from Deinint()". Where are these supposeed to be copied?!

Best regards // Kallamamran

More than likely it is just the way that the boolean block is being utilized but if it works, disregard the error.

split the buy and sell columns to have their own separate, no trade, block, and specify each to be respectively be "buy" or "Sell" type.

another way to do it.

@seb-0 @roar

I'm doing some optimizing now, running on 20 cores on 3 shared computers. Trying to get my max balance higher based on changes in my entry positions, then I will reoptimize based on stoploss and take profit. If there is still 1 more optimization needed I think it will only need to work on drawdown percentage. I will throw on more years in between each process to see how it does but for now the last 2 years will be my focus. Thanks for the tips. I'll keep updates here
